Lev Marcus

Portfolio Manager

"A good portfolio is more than a long list of good stocks and bonds. It is a balanced whole, providing the investor with protections and opportunities with respect to a wide range of contingencies."

Harry Markowitz

What inspires me

Modern financial markets are some of the most complex and expansive systems ever designed. Many of our decisions in life are affected by market forces. I have always wanted to understand “why” whether it is in the physical world or the financial.

 

How I impact my clients

I serve clients and advisors by uniting their unique investment objectives with specific portfolio implementation.

 

On the weekends

On weekends, you can find me exploring the PNW for scenic views and savory soup. During the spring and summer, I coach pole vault for high schools around Seattle . Outside of coaching, my brother Cary and I compete in combat robotics events, deconstructing meticulously designed robots in front of cheering crowds.
